Due to the long course, me starting my camera a bit early before each run, the extra run and not tossing one of my spare batteries in my pocket my GoPro shut off just as I was about to pull up to the line on the final run...DOH!!! So looks like my 'money run' will forever be lost to my memory banks and not recorded for prosperity (ha,ha). You can tell the rough spots out on the course with the amount of camera shake. I know I would consistently hit my front passenger bump stop in a couple of spots on the course.

You are not kidding that was a long course, longest one I have run. The BMW guys noted that it was likely the longest course they have laid out and were debating on whether to keep it that long when they set it up. The lot area was massive and they used most of it up. Fastest time of the day was by a 2010 GS Corvette @ 103.380s, so not exactly shocking on a big course. All of us were in the upper-mid range of the pack of 52 vehicles, so not that bad for 'old' cars and mildly experienced drivers.

All of us SVO guys noted the curved slalom and the green pointer cones too. The green pointer cones were actually pretty neat, but they were not 100% consistent with their use, which was likely a factor in the 'confusion' with some drivers on the course. I am still scratching my head on how I pulled off 7 non-DNF runs (one re-run due to timing light issue), but you can see I certainly left time out on the course with how far away I was from most of the cones. The one picture John had of my car mid-turn with the inner front almost coming off the ground and the outside rear folding under showed that the course surface wasn't too bad for aged asphalt. Nice to know my RE-71R's still have available traction after ~5000 miles/2 seasons, although I don't see them lasting more than another season at their current rate of wear.
